I have this nursing pillow already bought during pregnancy to relieve my belly in his sleep. The pad was delivered very crowded, so we had to first take out a whole bag of beads, so it was ready for use. The pad itself is very comfortable, but it has a very chemically smell all the time. I was so glad to have ordered it so early, so that it could evaporate before our son was born. Another criticism is that the closure of the beads not keep very close, so getting back out sources balls when the reference decreases. This is a bit annoying because the bullets are so small that they will again long after the vacuuming in crevices and corners.
